MODERATORS
People being shitty to customer service workers and utility, and people not being courteous to them.
Heck, I sometimes judge people for not thanking service workers and utility. For example: if a janitor lets you pass a hallway they've been busy cleaning, I'd silently judge you if you don't thank the janitor for letting you pass. Another example is in a fast food setting: if the person on the counter gives you your order, I'd silently judge you if you don't say "thank you".
Oh my God my fucking in laws... Literally any amount of poor service or delay and they're taking a passive aggressive tone with service workers. It's absolutely insane. Like, no, I do not think this person has personally slighted you, it's just rush hour and everybody else is also ordering food right now.
If someone is cleaning a floor and I have to walk over it, they're getting several sorrys and at least 2 thank yous, while I do that shrink my body to the side and putting my palms out towards them like a peasant not trying to be whipped by a landed gentry.
I've mopped professionally. It sucks.
Agreed!
If I were in that situation, I'd profusely apologize for having to pass through, and would give as much thanks as I did apologies after I'm through. I'd also make sure my footwear touch the floor as little as possible (likely by walking on my toes or the sides of my feet), and try to stick as close to the wall as possible. All just so that they can just redo a limited area after I've passed through.
I've never done that for a living, but I dread having to clean my room, sweep the floors, mopping it and such. I really feel for those people who had to mop the floors in high-traffic areas.
